Final Presentations

My team at Amazon couldn't have built its recommendation system without the foundational data mining and machine learning skills taught in this course. When contributing to the curriculum, I was careful to balance the theory with the real-world challenges of applying it to big data.

Why is this course relevant today?

Given the prevalence of technologies and the amount of data available in the online world about users, products, and the content that we generate, businesses can be making so much more well-informed decisions if this vast amount of data was more deeply analyzed through the use of data science. The data science course provides the tools, methods, and practical experience to enable you to make accurate predictions about data, which ultimately leads to better decision-making in business, and the use of smarter technology (think recommendation systems or targeted ads).

What practical skill sets can I expect to have upon completion of the course?

This course will provide you with technical skills in machine learning, algorithms, and data modeling which will allow you to make accurate predictions about your data. You will be creating your models using Python so you will gain a good grasp of this programming language. Furthermore, you will learn how to parse and clean your data which can take up to 70% of your time as a data scientist.

Whom will I be sitting next to in this course?

Individuals who have a strong interest in manipulating large data sets, finding patterns in data, and making predictions.
